My point was, don't you have a private forum? Deleting a topic because it looks bad in public is easily resolved by making it private. It would also never have led to this thread being created and ending up with a wider audience.

As a captain myself, I would have informed the player of my decision and the reasons rather than have George (the player) approach me. Surely, thats just common decency? :\

The only person/entity that looks bad from this topic is Cumbernauld CC. This should have remained an internal Cumbernauld CC matter. Deleting the topic on the Cumbernauld forum was the wrong decision in my view and has led to this PR disaster. Also mentioning SNCL teams etc. is just going to open even more up to debate. :\
I think a bit of common sense wouldn't go a miss here!
